I read the book “Voyage On The Great Titanic” The Diary of Margaret Ann Brady, by Ellen Emerson White.

This book is about a girl named Margaret Ann Brady who lived in England, but everybody calls her Margie for short. She has an older brother named William, her mother died of a sickness and her dad died as well. Margie became an orphan living on the streets with her brother William. A couple months after having to eat left over scraps from the garbage of grocery stores and other local businesses Margie got sick. Her brother then took her to an orphanage called St.Albernathy's for girls, because he couldn't take care of her anymore. Margie was upset, having to split up with her brother. He was the only person she had left to depend on and love .William promised they would meet again, then he left to America in search for a living. Margret met lots of new friends at the orphanage. She met a girl named Nora who later became her best friend. William was fine too. He was off away working on ships, cleaning and fixing them. Yes, William and Margie sent letters but that could never top actually seeing each other.

Five years later the orphanage receives an unusual request from a rich American woman in the name of Mrs. Carstairs looking for a traveling companion, Margie’s teachers agree that she is the perfect candidate. This is an opportunity for her to travel to America on the R.M.S Titanic, as a helper for Mrs. Carstairs and from the port of New York she will be free to join her brother in Boston. Maggie Accepts her offer and takes this opportunity to change her life, she said “ I expect to learn a great deal from my journey… America is supposed to be the land of endless opportunities, and I see no reason not to try to better myself”.

On Thursday, April 4, 1912, the big day finally comes and Margie boards the beautiful majestic R.M.S Titanic ship. She is so taken and fascinated with all the luxuries around her, from A...

The book I chose to read was The Voyage on The GreatTitanic: The Diary of Margaret Ann Brady
By: Ellen Emerson White. The young thirteen year old Margaret Brady is an orphan who lives in a girls home in London. Her only family member is her brother, William, who is in Boston trying to save up enough money to pay for her passage. Margaret sort of lucks out when a rich American woman named Mrs. Carstairs hires Margaret as a companion to accompany her on the Titanic. The story proceeds as Margaret observes life and activity on the ship in first class, from the perspective of a poor young girl. She also strikes up a friendship with one of the ship's stewards, Robert, who reminds her of her brother, William. But then of course the ship hits the iceberg, and Margaret and Mrs. Carstairs, though separated, are among those who secure places on lifeboats and are able to survive the sinking of the ship. Margaret is able to make it to New York, where her brother William meets her and takes her to Boston. A brief section at the end describes how Margaret spends the rest of her life in Boston. The author also includes a historical section on the actual event of the sinking of the Titanic.
Before reading the book I did know a few things about the titanic. I have seen the movie and heard many stories of the many people that survived and made it safely to land on the lifeboats....

Welcome to the Fantastic Voyage! Now that we have successfully been shrunk and injected into the patient’s femoral vein, let me explain what our journey will entail. The first destination will be the lower lobe of the right lung. The patient’s immune system has been fighting an evil invasion of bacterium in the lung, and it is our assignment to document the battle. Once we have witnessed the patient’s immune system in action, we will head across the alveolar membrane and onward out the nose. Let get started on this incredible journey!
We are now located in the right femoral vein which is part of Ms. Parker’s thigh. As you can see, we are following the current upward towards the pelvic cavity. As you look around you will see her femoral striated muscles, or her quadriceps femoris (Thibodeau & Patton, 2008). You can also see her adductor longus muscle tissue to the right. The sub-master 3000 seems to be jetting along, for we are already reaching the external iliac. Before the submarine moves too quickly notice the surrounding lymph nodes! Notice the different sizes: some lymph nodes are larger and some are smaller. Lymph percolates through the areas of the node helping to filter and protect her from harmful bacteria and damaged cells. This biological filtration is a type of defense mechanism. Lymph nodes also help as they produce the soldier cells: white blood cells (Thibodeau & Patton, 2008).
Now following through the common iliac up towards Ms....

...﻿The Sacrificing Love
Titanic and The Great Gatsby movies are both based on a touching love story. Even though the actual stories are different, the main theme remains love. The romantic plot makes watchers fall in love in the story of the movies. These movies surpass all the rivals in luxury and opulence. Titanic and The Great Gatsby are epic movies with their heartbreaking plot, distinguishable music, and unforgettable and tragic ending.
Titanic
One of the most romantic and at the same time disastrous movie in the history is Titanic. The movie Titanic, directed by James Cameron, is a fictional story which took place in 1912. Cameron's movie is based on a love story and on the true ship, Titanic. It tells the tale of the ship that sailed across the Atlantic. This movie clearly portrays how differently the first and second-class people were treated during the time of the Titanic. The backdrop of the Titanic is real, but the main plot is fictional. Titanic is a remarkable film filled with excitement and romance. The Titanic was supposedly unsinkable; yet, when it hit an iceberg, it tragically sank, destroying thousands of innocent lives. Two people, out of thousands on the ship, are the most remarkable; a poor man named Jack, who won his ticket in a card game, and a young woman raised by a wealthy...

Sinking of the greatTITANIC!
RMS Titanic was a British passenger liner that sank in the North Atlantic Ocean on 15 April 1912 after colliding with an iceberg during her maiden from Southampton, UK to New York City, US. The RMS Titanic was the largest ship afloat at the time of her maiden voyage. She was the second of three Olympic class ocean liners operated by the White Star Line, and she was built by the Wolff shipyard in Belfast. On her maiden voyage, she carried 2,224 passengers and crew.
After leaving Southampton on 10 April 1912, Titanic called at Cherbourg in France and Queenstown (now Cobh) in Ireland before heading westwards towards New York.[2] On 14 April 1912, four days into the crossing and about 375 miles (600 km) south of Newfoundland, she hit an iceberg at 11:40 pm ship's time. The glancing collision caused Titanic's hull plates to buckle inwards along her starboard side and opened five of her sixteen watertight compartments to the sea; the ship gradually filled with water and foundered around 2:20 AM.
Cause : Design and material failure
When the Titanic collided with the iceberg, the hull steel and the wrought iron rivets failed because of brittle fracture. A type of catastrophic failure in structural materials, brittle fracture occurs without prior plastic deformation and at extremely high speeds. The causes of brittle fracture...

...TitanicTitanic was the largest ship in the world, built by a workforce of 17,000.
The ultimate in turn-of-the-century design and technology. First-class suites
ran to more than $ 55,000 in today's
dollars, and when she sailed on her maiden
voyage from Southampton, England on route to NY , she held among her 2,227
passengers. The cream of industrial society, including colonel John Jacob Astor.
Macys founder; U.S. congressman Isidor Straus and Thomas Andrews, the ships
builder. The ship was built of easily sealed-off compartments. If, for some
unimaginable reason, the hull were punctured, only the compartment actually
ruptured would flood. In an worst case example - builders figured that the
Titanic would take from one to three days to sink, time for nearby ships to help,
because there was only 16 lifeboats. Unfortunately, things didn't work out that
way.
On April 14th, 1912 at about 7:30, at the first ominous hint of disaster

Titanic continued to rush through the deepening darkness. The temperature was

11:30 P.M., just half an hour before they were to be rewired, a slight haze had...

...The Voyage
The Voyage, by Katherine Mansfield is a short story set in the early 1900s, about a young girl called Fenella who is being taken from her home in Wellington to live with her Grandparents in Picton, after the death of her mother. She along with her grandmother travels across the Cook Strait on the Picton Boat to her new home. Mansfield uses the literary techniques of symbolism, setting and dialogue to convey the idea of the transition from childhood into adulthood.
Mansfield uses the symbolism of the umbrella to show that growth within Fenella has occurred. Fenella’s grandma allows Fenella to take care of her “swan-necked umbrella” which is very precious to her. At the beginning of the story Fenella finds the umbrella large and awkward, “giving her shoulder a sharp little peck.” Her Grandma has to remind her to be mindful of the umbrella, “be careful the umbrellas aren’t caught in the stair rail.” This shows us that Fenella is still a child, young and irresponsible. During the middle of the story Fenella begins to be aware of the umbrella. On the boat Fenella thinks about the umbrella, worrying about its safety at the same time as her grandmother. “Fenella remembered she had left the swan-necked umbrella….if it fell over, would it break?” This implies that Fenella is being more conscience of the world, which shows the beginning of her change as she matures. At the end of the story when they are about to leave the ship Grandma...

...One of the greatest news headlines of all times was actually never supposed to happen. The shocking news of the sunken ocean liner the Titanic shocked millions. The sinking itself probably wouldn't have even mattered except that the builders themselves said that the ship simply could not sink. The news not only hit the United States, but countries everywhere were saddened to hear the news of "The Unsinkable" and its grave end.
In 1907 a man named J. Bruce Ismay, who was the manager of White Star Lines went to a dinner party at the mansion of the wealthy William James Pierre. Pierre was a chairman to one of the largest shipbuilding companies in Belfast, Harland and Wolff. At dinner the two discussed luxury ships like the Lusitania and the Mauretania. These two liners were more luxurious and faster than any other liner ever made and that was bad news for Ismay and Pierre. It was a problem because Cunard Lines, the maker of these two luxury ships, was White Star Lines' only competition. By the time dinner was over they had made up a plan to build three Olympic' class ships. These ships would be fifteen hundred gross tons larger and about one hundred feet longer than the Lusitania and the Mauretania. The building of the Titanic and the Olympic were to start immediately, with the Britannic to follow in the coming years. On July 29, 1908 White Star owners approved the design plan for the three ships. The final price cost of each ship...

...The movie Titanic, directed by James Cameron, was a fictional story based on the true ship, Titanic. Cameron's movie was based on a love story; however, the focus of this paper will be on some of the differences between the two classes aboard the Titanic. This movie clearly portrayed how differently the first and second-class people were treated during the time of the Titanic. This can be related to many other times in American history when groups were segregated as well.
The movie began by showing many second-class citizens surrounding the ship, waiting to board the Titanic. The first class had their cars driven up to the dock, beeping their horns so the second-class people would move out of their way. They were immediately escorted out of their cars, with their many pieces of expensive luggage being carried for them. The first class boarded the ship through the main, top deck, while the second class waited around while they were checked for lice and other diseases. The second class kept their belongings in one sac each and waited until all of the first class were aboard, then entered the ship through the steerage entrance.
The living quarters for the upper class were lavish, with everything from fireplaces to private bathrooms. A first class room was extremely large with access to the decks, and had all the comforts of home. These rooms were located on the top of the ship, each with...
